Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a 62-year-old man missing from Croydon University Hospital.

Bill Smith was last seen at 11am on Saturday when he walked out of the hospital.

He was wearing brown shoes, black jogging bottoms and a white or light grey t-shirt.

His left arm was bandaged up on the forearm and he suffers from a condition which causes breathing difficulty.

He is white, 5ft 5in and very slim.

A Met Police spokesman said Mr Smith is known to frequent St Peter’s Church in South Croydon, West Croydon and Croydon town centre.

Call the police on 101 or the Missing People charity on 116000 quoting reference 14MIS044032 if you know where Mr Smith is.
